Résumé anglais General and specific features of glaciological regimes and their oscillations in the Western Alps and in the Caucasus. The both climate mountains are chiefly different by continental degree. The thermic secular change is marked by a continual cooling down in the high Caucasus, while Caucasian piedmonts, plains and mountains of the Western Europe were becoming warmer up to 1955-60. The Caucasus glaciers fronts are lower than the one A Ipine glaciers. They have a more diversified typology. The values of the ice-mass changes are rather similar. The both mountains have temperate glaciers (soaked with water) and cold glaciers (higher than 3 000 m in the Alps and 3.500 m in the Caucasus).
